T0 all, w'mm, it nca/y concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. BARRETT, a citif/Ien of the UnitedStates, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State ofIndiana, have invented new and useful AImprovements in Mucilage-Bottles;and l .do declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, refer ence being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the'letters and'figures of' reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to mucilage, bottles that are provided withbrushes for removing Inucilage from the bottles and applying themucilage to articles on which it may be desired to use it, the inventionhaving reference particularly to devices for removing surplus mucilagefrom the brushes in the bottles While withdrawing the brushes frointhebottles.

, Objects of the invention are to provide an improved mucilage bottle ofrelatively large capacity with an improved clearer whereby surplusmucilage may be removed from the mucilage-brush, to provide a clearerwhich will provide a guide on which the surplus mucilage may readily iowto the wall of the bottle and thence down into the reserve mucilage tomix therewith, so that there may be n0 waste of mucilage by reason ofthe surplus remaining and adhering to the clearer, a further objectbeing toprovide a mucilage bottle and clearer formed integrally ofglass, so that the surplus mucilage will not ordinarily adhere to theclearer, and so that the bottle and the clearer may readily be cleansed.of accumulations of mucilage that may be due to ylong usage.

A still further object is to provide a clearer that will be strong anddurable and not liable to derangement.

With the above-mentioned and minor objects in view, the inventionconsists in a mucilage bottle provided with a clearer having a glazed orglass-like surface, a clearer having a relatively large circumference sothat the surplus mucilage will acquire momentum thereon and droptherefrom readily before becoming thick, a bottle provided with aninclined clearer, ,and a bottle having aclearer formed integral with thewall thereof` And the invention consists further in the parts andcombinations and arrangements of parts, asv

hereinafter i articularly described and referred to 1n t ie a, pendedclaims.

` Referring to tie drawings, Figure l is a vertical central sectionalview cfa mucilage bottle constructed substantially in accordance withthe invention, with a brush therein, the clearer' being strai ht withIrelatively large exterior; Fig. 2, t e bottle in section having theclearer modified as to shape, the middle portion being higher than theends thereof; Fig. 3, a horizontal sectional view. of the bottle as onthe line A A in Fig. 1 g Fig. 4, a side view of the cover of the bottle;and Fig. 5, a plan view of the cover inverted.

Similar reference characters in the several figures of the ments, partsor features of construction.

In construction the bottle body com rises a bottom a, a circular sidewall b integralwith the bottom, and a circular neck c integral with theside wall, the top and outer side of the neck being smooth. The neck hasa relatively large diameter, so that a brush may easily pass withoutdepositing muc'ilage thereon. A clearer, d, or d', is composed of thesame material as the side will b, and either clearer is bar-shaped andcircular in crosssection and has two ends attached integrally to theside Wall b ofthe bottle at two suitable points distant from the bottoma thereof, as d is at e and f in Fig. l. The clearer d is in theform ofan arch, and the clearer d is inclined, so that mucilage may flow oneither one to the side w all b before becoming thick.

A cover g is of crowning form and has a rim 7i fitting over the neck cof the bottle, the cover being adapted to be lifted freely from theneck, and it has a central aperture i around which are spring fingersthat are integral with the cover. A brush lc is provided that has ahandle l which extends through the aperture i and is embraced by thefingers y', so that the brush may be supported adjustably by the coverif d'es'ired, to hold the brush off bottle. And when the brush isremoved from the bottle, the cover will be carried by the brush handleand not become displaced. The lid, when in place on the bottle holds thethe brush handle away from the neck of the bottle, so that the handlewill be kept clean and not be contaminated by niucilage that may becarelessly deposited on the interior of the neck. The upper part of thebottle is so shaped that Inucilage may readily flow from the neck downthe wall in the bottle to the reserve Inucilage.

In practical use, if the bottle be provided with the clearer d having arelatively large drawings designate like ele-.

from the bottoni, of the IOO diameter and smooth exterior, and thesurplus inucilage be deposited on the clearer- When withdrawing thebrush for use, the mucilage will ilow rapidly down the sidesof the.clearer and drop off into the mucilage below. In case the mucilage bedepositedon the clearer d, the mucilage will ilow to the lowest partsthereof to the side wall of the bottle and thence downinto the mucilage,leaving mucilage. y

Havingthus described the is claimed as new is- A y t l. A mucilagebottle provided vwith an inclined bar-shaped clearer having two endsattached to the wall of the bottle.

2. A mucilage ,bottle comprising a .side wall, and a bar-shaped clearer'having two end portions attached to different parts of the wall andinclined thereto. Y

3v .Al mucilage bottle comprising a bottom invention, what i i Y and aside wall with a neck, and a bar-shaped clearer having two separate endparts thereof joined iiXedly to the side wall betweenthe bottom` and theneck, the clearer extending acrossthe major or vertical axis of the bot-'tle and inclined to the plane of the bottom.

4. A mucilage bottle comprsing'a bottom the clearer entirely clear ofthe;

and(v a sidewallV with a neck, a bar-shaped clearer having two endsattached to different.v

parts of the wall between the bottom and the neck, the clearer having acurved surface in- Aclined to the wall for the iow of the mucilaged.having two ends attached to di erent parts of the wall,` the clearerbeing circular in crosssection and having atleast one end portionthereof extending from its point of attach- .ment with the wallobliquely therefrom in a direction away-from thebottom of the bottle.

6. As an improvedarticle. oi manufacture, the herein-described mucilagebottle with a bottom and a uniformly circular side wall, andthebar-shaped clearer having two separate end parts thereof attached xedlyto the side Wall,- the-clearer being circular `in cross-` section andinclined to induce the flow of mucilage, as and for the purposes shown.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
